'Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World' trailer

Dimension Films' "Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World" opens in theaters Aug. 19, 2011, and the first feature trailer is now finally online See below. I can't say I love either the title or this preview, but who knows, maybe Robert Rodriguez's fourth film in the series will entertain a little.

One thing is for sure: Jessica Alba looks stunning in this thing, but her acting seems disastrous. In fact, none of the acting seems superb, but I guess no one cares about it anyway. Kids will love this thing, and I guess that's what matters. I'd rather have them watch this instead of films like "The Zookeeper."

In the family flick, Alba plays a retired spy reactivated to participate in a dangerous mission to bring down the evil Time Keeper. She is also the mother of two stepchildren, who will be the new Spy Kids. Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara co-star, as do Melissa Cordero and Mason Cook.
